>Type 2 responds quite well to intermittent fasting.
20/4 here. My experience matches this. I haven't had any appreciable weight loss, but my doctor is happier with my lab results. (Though candidly I do miss my morning McDonald's sausage biscuit with cheese.)
Part of me wonders if this isn't an artifact of the tests though. Triglyceride testing specifically is extremely sensitive to fasting.
Unfortunately it's not helping my knees. They are suffering accelerated wear due to excessive loading.
Full Burnup reactors are cool thing, but nuclear proliferation concerns coupled with their requirement for a higher % enriched fuel mean they are probably a non-starter. You could build them in one of the current nuclear powers, but non-nuke countries are cut off from it.
The article and summary implies that a currently patched version of IE would be vulnerable. This is not the case.:/
Microsoft, who in full disclosure is my employer, fails at a lot of things. You don't have to make up new ones on our behalf.
(This is obviously my opinion and not that of the company that buys my groceries. I understand that working for Microsoft means my opinion is invalid.)
> I figured databases would be largely I/O bound, not processor bound.
It depends massively on the skill of the person that designed the databases, the indexes, the hardware, and the skill of the query author.
In one of my gigs I was able to take an hour-long reporting job to under a minute on the same hardware just by making it more efficient. (Adding indexes, eliminating temp tables, and unrolling cursor operations.)
I didn't have to buy my own lunch for a week after that.:)
> I'll take $20 for my efforts and me and my air compressor will get you handled. If we get you aimed right, we may even be able to handle some target practice.
Does your malpractice insurance cover overpressure injury and embolism? Neither is a good way to die.
This is impossible. I've been informed repeatedly that the US is the only country with a police corruption problem, and other countries can trust their police and government implicitly.
I'm sorry. Your videotaped and eyewitness evidence must be confused. Your facts are simply invalid.
I still contend that computer usage makes smart people smarter and dumb people dumber (yet the now-dumber people think they're smarter).
This does not match my personal experience. In self reflection I have outsourced a large portion of my long term memory to search engines, my attention span is vastly shorter than it used to be, and both my willingness and ability to deeply engage problems have decreased dramatically in the last decade. I am much dumber than I used to be.
It "feels like" I only think with the top part of my brain now. I can reverse this feeling somewhat by dramatically limiting my internet and television exposure and forcing myself through long slow memory intensive tasks. Oddly, it is physically painful to do this now.
The speculative store bypass is disabled by default because, from the link you posted, "At the time of publication, we are not aware of any exploitable code patterns of this vulnerability class in our software or cloud service infrastructure, but we are continuing to investigate. [...] If a vulnerable code pattern is found, we will address it with a security update."
As to 2012r2/8.1, good question. I would be surprised if those weren't added in a future release.
Sunshades are a cool idea, but I'm a little skeptical on them. The engineering challenges of 10-20 km^2 of solar concentrators is hard enough. A solar shade is orders of magnitude larger than that.
It is not dumb or nationalistic to want to control your borders.
They do not want to invest in the education needed to produce rocket scientists.
The only countries that spend more than us on education per student are Norway, Switzerland, and Austria. We are investing in education, and we'd like to see fucking ROI.
They want coal plants to stay open for jobs despite the owners' assertion that "we don't use manual labour like we used to."
We want coal mines to stay open because it's dumb for us to import coal from other countries.
They want nuclear power but they have no indigenous people who can build a plant.
You're right. We want Westinghouse and GE to manufacture them here, instead of in China and Japan. We exported that knowledge, and then we outsourced the R&D. Part of MAGA is bringing both of those back.
They are anti-science [slashdot.org].
Anti-FUD is not anti-science. Yes, we have anti-vaxxers. They are a minority. Yes, we have climate change deniers, and it's a problem. They are/were a direct response to the worst-case scenario end-of-days predictions that have repeatedly failed to occur. Your scientists sacrificed their credibility in an attempt to change public policy and now they have to earn it back to be trusted again.
America will never dominate in any regard going forward.
I agree. If we don't stop bankrupting our country on military spending we won't. That's part of MAGA too; it's time to stop paying to defend every other country on Earth.
They want to be great again by going backwards.
What would you propose we do differently then?
We could ignore border security, like we've done for the last decade.
We could throw more money into education with no improvement in outcomes like we've done for the last two decades.
We could outsource and offshore more jobs and research in the hopes to reap the benefits of globalism like we've done for the last three decades.
We could continue to pay for the cost of securing Europe against an expansionist Soviet empire like we've done for the last five decades.
Or we could do something different. You tell me who is looking backwards.
> To make asteroid mining and processing in space we would have to build a huge amount of space based infrastructure, supply chains, and economy for which there is no obvious ROI.
I've got one:space based solar power. It is the zero carbon solution to climate change. We need a couple of hundred petawatt hours of generation capability, and there are customers ready, willing, and waiting to buy it today.
It should come as no huge shock that China is the technology leader in this space.
The problem you have with legacy taxi companies is the slow incremental increases in legislation that made the industry suck. It would be a shame to see that happen to ride sharing too.
"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein
Growing up I had a tiny library of a few dozen books at home. I read these hundreds of times. My town library offered access to a few thousand more non-fiction titles, and by the time I moved away I'd read roughly a fifth of them. I always wanted to learn more, and was continually limited by the books I could find. Now some evil tech giant comes along and provides access to more data than I can consume in a dozen lifetimes.
You want to punish them for that? I want to give them a medal.
it is what it is.
That isn't substantially different from/var/log/yum.log or/var/log/dpkg.log. One day the universe will have consolidated simple human-readable logs.
Unfortunately we'll have been replaced by AIs at that point.
The major differences between Pro and Enterprise: Pro doesn't have Applocker, BranchCache, App-V and Credential Guard. Also, you can't change the lock screen on Pro.
The extended support thing isn't the apocalypse. When a new release of Windows 10 comes out, it has an 18 month lifecycle. Upgrade to the next feature release within that 18 months or you won't get security updates anymore.
Here's the missing quick reference card for Windows updates.
If the problem is detecting or downloading the updates, run the powershell command get-windowsupdatelog to make a human readable log file on your desktop. (That half-grumbled thought that just went through your mind.. I agree.)
If the problem is installing an update, the Content Based Servicing (CBS) logs in c:\windows\logs\cbs contain literally insane amounts of data including occasionally a useful error. These are big enough that they choke some text editors. Notepad++ handles them well. (Protip:I grep -v ", Info " to get some idea of what I'm looking for, then dig in with the editor.)
If the problem is installing a driver, those errors end up in c:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log.
If the problem is with a feature update: C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\setupact.log C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther\miglog.xml C:\Windows\setupapi.log
If you get an error code like 0x80070005 that you want to decode to a human readable message you can try Err.exe, the "Microsoft Exchange Server Error Code Look-up" tool. e.g. running err.exe 0x80070005 tells me that winerror.h defines this as E_ACCESSDENIED.
PowerShell has similar functionality, and I can speak a little on why they did it.
"Normal" AV looks at files. You read a file and it's scanned. You write a file and it's scanned. File-less attacks nullify this approach by never dropping anything to the disk. They call PowerShell (or Python, apparently) by passing in a script block, the equivalent of a one-liner that is Eval()'d. To help close this hole and expose scriptblocks to AV PowerShell added features to decode incoming scriptblocks, log them, and explicitly expose to AV before executing them.
It looks like Python is doing the same. Good for them.

Getting a real handle on this is a hard task because of the web of contractors, subcontractors, and direct employees spread across a bunch of different agencies.
DOD has 1.3 million active duty personnel plus 0.8 million in the National Gaurd and Reserve plus 0.7 million civilian employees. That's direct employees. For contractors it's anybody's guess. Just getting a headcount would cost million$.
For scale, the US labor force is ~150 million people.
So roughly one employed person in sixty works directly for the DOD. If you/ass/ume a 1:1 FTE/Contractor ratio then that's one in thirty.
War is big business.
> India and other countries can not compete with SpaceX, because India doesn't have a big pool of rocketry scientists who have experience developing reusable, relaunchable craft.
A decade ago SpaceX didn't have any scientists with experience developing reusable relaunchable craft. It would be unwise to trust the depth of this moat.
Both China and India have the same goal for their space programs. They need energy, and space based solar power has the promise of transforming them to 21st century economies. I guarantee you they are working on reusable launch vehicles right now, today. They'll do it to crazy fast too, because they don't have the Arianne/ULA political baggage to prevent them from committing their full resources to it.
> The Chinese rockets will be excellent. They'll be using someone else's designs.
Before you knock China's rockets too hard you might want to look at what they are actually doing. Unlike the US, they have manned launch capability today. They have orbited the moon several times and dropped a rover on the moon in 2016.
As a US based space nut, I dare say they are closer to walking on another world than we are.
I believe that one way the NTSB and other agencies can contribute usefully is to publish a reference set of scenario "test cases" based on real world accidents for self-driving car researchers and manufacturers.
There is no reason someone else should die because their car thought a trailer crossing a roadway was a road sign, didn't recognize a stopped firetruck on the highway, or followed the wrong line into a traffic divider.
I used one at a large accounting firm in Georgia and again at a Bank in Delaware. It's nice kit when you have local and remote people joining a meeting. If the room is invited then you walk in, tap the screen to start the meeting, and the audio connects without having to dial out and enter a pin and all that. If you use it as a whiteboard you can email the output to yourself or everyone in the meeting easily too.
For joining a meeting the learning curve is effectively zero. The other bits, whiteboarding and presenting from the board, take a minute to figure it out but is intuitive after that. The trick is finding the controls that first time.

The selective service administration's 24 million dollars per year budget could pay for ~800,000 hours of a police officer's mean salary.
The new Federal courthouse in LA is on track to cost a billion dollars.
<sarcasm>.. we should absolutely start by cutting police and teachers. That's where the easy cuts are. </sarcasm>
